Great job. I fish the same set up, but I like the way you spool it out before you set the hook. Will give that a go. Thanks for posting. Nice job putting this video together. You are a Pro's pro.
*These work with rod and reel or tip ups **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s good for keeping snow out of the hole and to greatly slow hole freezing. They are not heavy so need to be held down by tip up or some snow/ice shavings if windy. Have not had them freeze down even when placed in wet ice shavings.*
Good energy .Good info . I love tip up fishing . Great fun when the flag flies. In CT were allowed 6 . I keep it simple and inexpensive . Lots of innovation in the past 20 or 30 yrs . As in most things in our life . But the old stuff still works great 👍 . BTW I'm in my mid 60s and still love hardwater. Don't get me wrong . I couldn't live without some of today's equipment. It's great . Posted this on November 11th 2021 . God bless our Veterans. Have a great upcoming ice fishing season . Thank you . 😊
Wyoming we get 6 lines but the fishing isn't great...or at least not for me. I think 3 lines is enough so I can move quickly. A good cheap depth indicator can be a button too. Simple and not bulky at.
Great video. I use buttons from an old shirt or craft store to mark my line out. You just have to run the main line thru 2 holes then you are able to slide them when you set your tipup. One other thing for storing leaders we use pool noodles or pipe insulation. Then you can cut it to length to fit in a container, wrap your leaders around it, and stick the hooks into the foam.
for the lighter trick, it's essentially a red phillips knot, braid or not is should work the same. knot.. to screw with what is working, but it might work work without the lighter jut fine
Hey there I just start to ice fishing. I live in Lawrenceville Pennsylvania. Which is Tioga county. If you could look it up. And let me know where you would fishing
Awesome videos Tom, thanks for posting so much content throughout the last year. Hayward area early ice scenario and question - When jigging, I can put myself on top of fish and coax them up off the bottom with rattling spoons, lead jigs, jigging raps, tungstens, you name it... but my percentage of getting them to commit is lousy. They rise, check it out, I slow the presentation, and then they drop back down. I'm tipping rattling spoons/jigging raps with half a shiner/walleye sucker/fathead, and using whole minnows on short shank lead/tungsten jigs. I lean more towards aggressive jigging and hole hoping around my tip ups rather than a slower jigging techniques. This past weekend my tip ups were getting all the walleye love, and I was only hooking perch/crappie with the jigging rods. Any thoughts?
+Michael Otis thanks for watching. They could have just wanted the live bait. Which I have had happen plenty of times. I see people jig much too soft and not incorporating a chase sequence. Many times you need to make em chase. However it could be anything, fish are weird.
Ice fishing question. If you only had a budget for either a flasher or underwater camera, which one would you buy. I already have lakemasters map on my cell phone.
Flasher!! cameras are great but can be annoying. Flasher gives you depth and shows you fish even in deep water. Then Flasher also gives you the ability to set your tip ups or dead sticks quickly by checking depths.
Now everyone is going to say flasher. BUT WAIT yes flashers are great. They do many things besides marking fish. BUT depends what you're doing. If you fish a lot of clear water, if you fish a lot of trout I would look at a camera option. If you're just after panfish or walleye flasher is the way to go
Question for you. Today I was on Eagle lake in Dover WI. Got on a nice perch bite. They started small then the big boys came out to play. I had a flag and ran over and the thing was just taking line. Wrestled in to the hole and my line snapped. The line was clearly bitten and frayed. So I’m assuming the fish choked my roach pretty good. I was using 12lb tip up braid no leader. Could I get away with throwing a metal 55lb leader to the end like I would open water musky fishing? We couldn’t identify for sure what species but it I could tell it would barely fit through the 8inch hole. We are thinking it was either a huge walleye or decent musky. When the line broke. So did my heart.
Great info Tom . Can you do a video on how to distinguish what we are seeing on our flashers as fare as fish ,weeds our bait and exit.? Thanks

Great, practical tips! I have a portable shanty I've owned for 7 years but hasn't been out on the ice yet! That's gonna change this season!
Great video. Very informative. Love your enthusiasm. Your passion for educating really comes through.
Bugtussle thank you! Stay tuned for more!
Nice videos dude! I am in the birchwood area and love finding people on UA-cam in my area that has the drive and passion for fishing as much as I do.
Phenomenal work, haven't ice fished in a while and your information is really helpful. Heading out to lake Wisconsin next week!
Very informative with great tips. Thanks Tom...
love all the videos. your production is really getting good.
Thank you! Stay tuned for more!

+Ryan Jaskowiak yes have seen the button trick. I like that one. Also yes the noodle works great!
Awesome info , thank you Sir
I'm knew on this channel very cool I like great info
Very informative video. Thanks for the tips.

Great video Tom very informative
+Jim Ciupinski thanks!
What knots are you using to tie the trebles to the Flouro?
Great video! Awesome info!
Spring crappie fishing!
For your version of the clam zero rig, are you just making a double surgeon's loop for the loop section where the hooks go?
right on !
Hey there I just start to ice fishing. I live in Lawrenceville Pennsylvania. Which is Tioga county. If you could look it up. And let me know where you would fishing
+Tom Boley When leap frogging tip-ups, how long (time) do you let it sit with out a strike before moving it?
+shack109 depends what your expectations are. If a fish ever half hour is good.....give it 45 minutes! Etc...
We went out on the flowage by CC boat landing. 2.5 to 3 inches and I wouldn’t recommend going.
Awesome videos Tom, thanks for posting so much content throughout the last year.

Yup don't slow down running away if they chase.....all the way to the hole.....
Kinda like dating....
Gotta hold your mouth right
Ice fishing question. If you only had a budget for either a flasher or underwater camera, which one would you buy. I already have lakemasters map on my cell phone.
+Frank Mcchesney absolutely flasher.
Flasher!! cameras are great but can be annoying. Flasher gives you depth and shows you fish even in deep water. Then Flasher also gives you the ability to set your tip ups or dead sticks quickly by checking depths.
Frank Mcchesney hands down flasher of any brand
Now everyone is going to say flasher. BUT WAIT yes flashers are great. They do many things besides marking fish. BUT depends what you're doing. If you fish a lot of clear water, if you fish a lot of trout I would look at a camera option.
If you're just after panfish or walleye flasher is the way to go
Flasher
Can I borrow one of those Marcum finders? Lol looks like you have a full shelf of them
+southern ontario ice report love the marcums!

Let it be known when the ICE is reAdy!
Have you been Detroit river jigging for walleye?
+Justin Huffman never Have! I need to one day!
What app is that that you use in this video?
At 16 minutes
3 lines.....lucky
6 in combo for Ct.
I love here
Make a video about Wally catching on high fishing and boating pressure lakes under 1200acres
Also do you have any tips for trolling with or without boards when there is lots of surface weeds floating from boat traffic
I should bring me fishing
The beginning. . .
Try using the jaw jacker. It's better than those tip ups. 😆👍👍👈
No, it's definitely not.
@@NomadicNorthwoods yeah it definitely is
The video is informative but it is boring to see your face all the time and non focused on the stuff you trying to show
